Space Group’s present works have their roots combined in the past, such as forgotten methods, and in future technologies. Every project, built or un-built, follows a key-narrative that is identified at an early stage. Once it is found it is rolled out over the entire project no matter what scale. This is why Space Group prefer to be involved in projects down to the last detail – from the urban context to the architectural space to the finishes and furniture.
